If you open an .apk file with, say, WinRAR, that's what you'll see. Just so you know.

if you have the .apk file you have to install it! if you don't have the .apk file and just the extracted version, you can let Titanium BackUp make one for you.
I don't know of this will help but I had a similar prob. I had an .txt file of an app and I couldn't figure out ho to convert it into apk but after getting no solution i just renamed it to .APk instead of .txt and it worked!

thanks for corection .....
you will need to extract apk with some apk tool because xml files are unreadable
And don't forget to sign...unless it's a system app.

hi,guys.. i know all of you wanna create or mod an android apps and wanna use it or share.
i think newb like me already tried to change the image files from res folder of apk but the problem is edited apk files just dont install,it always say application not installed,the problem is the apk isn't signed,you have to sign it.. most of newb dont know how to sign apk. so here is an android app "ZIP SIGNER" it can sign your apk file. in this app just input your edited apk and chose output location and press Sign,and your apk will be signed. and you will be able to install your edited apk...... so try it.

But we can edit system apps.
And no need sign it..
Signing requires only for 3rd party applications.

Okay How to change icon and background?
By the way is this signing process important for creating your own mod?
Extract the application using 7zip and change the icons in the res folder.
After changing the icons right click the application .apk - open archive
And drag the modified res to it and click ok if it ask to replace.
Then copy app to phone and sign it.

Thanks for ur response... but i seem to have used all the apktools available... i can recompile the "-res.apk" but when i put it back to \system\framework ... the UI FCs and the notification bar doesnot load.
unfortunately od has stopped. >> is the message i get when i put the modified "-res.apk".
i have noticed one thing that the recompiled apk doesnot have META-INF folder... although i tried to copy it and gave a try but still no go...
what i am trying to do is using a themed apk like lidroid or crikelos res .. decompile .. change some text under the toggle buttons ...
what am i doing wrong... ?
hmm... have you tried setting back the permissions on your modified -res.apk in /system/framework? Mounting it before hand?
If you have, you may indeed try to ask some devs or someone who knows their way in recompiling apks as this is a sensitive matter to touch with and I'm moderately more on contributing stuffs rather than delving into the internal programmings on the android ecosystem.
hmmm.. i have changed permissions as well still... Thanks for taking the time out

Go to apkyool.yml
Edit with notepad++
And below

Add -2
So it would look like

-2
Then compile it lidroid-res again
Also make sure you have twframework-res.apk
And framework-res.apk installed

Only sign lidroid if you have signed every apk in your rom
I normally do this
Decompile apk
Make changes
Compile apk
Go to original apk
Press right
7-zip
Open as archive
Delete res
Delete resources.arsc
Leave the 7-zip archive open
Go to
The decompiled folder
Go to build/apk
Copy all except androidmanifest.xml to the archive
Then its done you have an apk

Here are the original images, wallpapers, ringtone/notification and theme file from the Bond Edition Xperia T.
Needs root to get the actual theme installed, but can have the ringtone & notification anywhere as usual ringtones and select.
Skyfall.apk needs to be copied to 'system/vendor/overlay/framework' folder and permissions changed and reboot!

Sony changed the way the themes work on jelly bean so you can't use this one any more.
Download the new one here and put it in /system/app/ (not /vendor/overlay/framework like the old one) and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644), then reboot.

I love you.
With the help of one of your threads, I successfully flashed my firmware on my Xperia T to get rid of the O2 branding. Before flashing I copied & saved the Skyfall.apk and the tones to the memory card in the hope of pasting them back to their folders. Didn’t realise that the folder would be un-writable. Can any one give me detailed instruction on how to get the Theme back on my phone. I used Flashtool to Flash Firmware and ES File Explorer to copy files to memory card.
Thanks in advance

Check the root thread and use the latest root script to root.
Use ES file explorer and copy the skyfall.apk back to the folder it was in. (see original post)

You must make the folder R/W not just R/O
You need root to do this, and then just click on the grey R/W button in top right of root explorer
